It appears multiple actions are not functioning. Everything looks healthy from console and backend is healthy. The Google Assistant just will not open the actions, and the action web pages on assistant.google.come are showing error pages

As a developer for Google Assistant, I am really very annoyed, by the lack of support for languages other than English for all things presented.

Dialogflow (and before that api.ai) had support for languages other than English, but when the new Action Builder was launched, this functionality was lost. This also caused problems if trying to migrate a project from Dialogflow to Action Builder.

As a user, the things that bother me the most are the lack of features on Assistant, for example, the continuous conversation was launched 3 years ago in English.

Hello,

I've been a developer for Actions since day 1 when they announced AoGs. The delay on approving Actions is something new and is hurting developer morale as we aren't sure if the Actions will be approved, once they get reject we then have to wait another week for feedback on the changes.

I make a living creating voice apps and this is starting to become a concern. We are used to fast and reliable feedback on getting our Actions approved, which gave up this platform a huge advantage over its competitors. Please figure out a new approval system ASAP.

Hello there,

I have created and published a new codelab to learn how to build actions for Google Assistant with Interactive canvas.

Build Actions for Google Assistant with Interactive Canvas

You can get a know-how to build your action using Interactive Canvas running Smart Display by doing this codelab. For instance, this codelab describes how to create a simple game action "rock-paper-scissor".

If you are interested in the Interactive Canvas, let's try the codelab!

I work for a company that offers health insurance and other financial products. For obvious reasons I will not name this company.

We've launched an app with an account linking feature for our users in the past, and everything went smoothly. As per AoG's policies, our actions do not provide health-related info of any kind. Our lawyers made sure we were HIPAA-compliant.

But recently, new updates to this app got refused. We added no new actions, just made a few technical changes. The reviewer argued that Google does not allow our type of company to implement account linking, since we provide "services related to health" according to our company website. In other words, no company in our busin

Sorry for noob question. Google is sunsetting Conversational Actions. I am bit confused on impact ..

  1. Does it mean that to create any voice assistant application, i also need to create an android app which is installed on a phone ? And will all voice commands passed on to the android app to process ?

  2. Will other assistant devices (google nest, smart watches, smart clocks with google assistants) not take custom commands and only accept google's own commands ? (i.e. would I not be able to tell my google next to turn off my by living room lights ).
